AI0-001 AI Security, Ethics and Governance Practice Question
Which TWO are common attack vectors against AI systems? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the distinction between traditional cybersecurity attacks (SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflow) and AI-specific threats (data poisoning, adversarial examples), so the trap is that candidates mistakenly apply general security knowledge to AI systems without recognizing the unique attack surfaces.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Data poisoning
Data poisoning is a common attack vector against AI systems where an attacker manipulates the training data to corrupt the model's learning process. By injecting malicious or misleading samples into the training dataset, the attacker can cause the model to learn incorrect patterns, leading to biased outputs, reduced accuracy, or targeted misclassifications. This directly targets the integrity of the AI's training pipeline.
